Nightingale

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:

Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
Why won’t the words come?
Blank like a cloud-filled sky—
 
Why I wonder—why?
Why can I not sing
 
Freely
 
Perched up high
In the sky,
 
A nightingale
Singing her song
 
Even when I cry.

    Ah my friend here we have a great example of a contradiction "as blank as a cloud-filled sky" Led astray, the reader goes on. But is not a cloud filled sky full not blank? Is it you that can not sing freely or is it that you are feely perched up in the sky. I love such ambiguities for it gives such freedom of interpretation. Well done Tristan
